Need to work him into offense. Be creative. When you have someone with talent like that you want to give him every OPP to get him the ball. That means hit him on short passes and screens and even line him up as a receiver once in awhile

Why get cute with it... the man clearly can run the football and was drafted for that purpose. Trying to make him into a receiver out of the slot with the complex routes this offense runs will just complicate thing unnecessarily... and it isn't like this team is short on quality receivers. What they need is running backs, and he is that. Now, if you were saying to throw to him coming out of the backfield... that I would agree with.

^^^^^THIS. He is a RB for sure. My only question is, since he is the biggest returner on our team in a decade, do we keep him there for now or risk him getting hurt during the regular game. Just a question dont kill me.

To be honest, once he starts getting legit carry numbers during the run game, we might see Darel Scott back to return kickoffs...
